Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, otherwise
the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer
compartment impairs refrigeration
of the frozen food and increases
power consumption. Remove the layer
of hoarfrost regularly.

Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with
a knife or pointed object.
You could damage the refrigerant tubes.
Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause
eye injuries.

the appliance, switch on super freezing

temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet
in the freezer compartment. Fig. -
